Middle Schools in Oregon Trail School District 46

The Oregon Trail School District 46 in Oregon is home to three middle schools: Cedar Ridge Middle School, Boring Middle School, and Welches Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three middle schools, Boring Middle School and Welches Middle School stand out as the top performers. Both schools are consistently ranked among the top 100 middle schools in Oregon and have earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Boring Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while Welches Middle School excels in English Language Arts proficiency, with 6th and 7th-grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages.

In contrast, Cedar Ridge Middle School generally performs below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all three middle schools, which is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. While the spending per student varies among the schools, with Welches Middle School having the highest at $18,646 and Boring Middle School the lowest at $14,521, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school size and teaching quality, may play a more significant role in driving student outcomes.
